In the years leading up to the Civil War, a bloody conflict between slaveholders and abolitionists focused the nation's eyes on the state of Missouri and the territory of Kansas. Told through the actual words of slave owners, free-staters, and border ruffians, "Bad Blood" presents the complex morality, and life-and-death decisions faced by those who lived on the border from 1854 through 1860.

I grew up in little Dixie in Missouri. My great-grandmother told me during the Civil War all the men were gone to war they had a dinner bell they would ring when the Jayhawkers were spotted and all the women and children Would hide in a cave down in the hallow below the old home place.

The institution of slavery was not the cause of the war. The tariff, a tax on imported goods, was the sole cause of the war. Northern manufacturers, who had gained political control in northern states, wanted the government to lay heavy taxes on foreign commerce to "protect" their domestic business. The South, however, was dependent on foreign commerce for its prosperity and wanted low tariffs. Political and business leaders on both sides realized that further argument was useless, that the tariff rate depended on the balance of power in Congress between the northern and southern states.

And now that I think of it…did you just say that your county “seceded” from the Confederacy? But wait…I thought all you liberals hated secession? Isn’t that what you’ve all been whining about these last sixty plus years, how “secession” flags have no place in our “beautiful melting pot” society? So, tell me, which is it? I guess secession is okay when it’s your side of the fence doing it, huh? How very progressive.

If you take even a MOMENT to read the state secession resolutions of 1860-61, you'll see that preserving (& expanding) slavery is front & center among the stated reasons. Probe a little deeper: in the SC debate over secession, delegates discussed using tariffs as a secession issue & rejected it.

That doesn't mean watch a movie or read one book of one person's opinion. It means research the entirety of slavery throughout history and is still happening to this day, and I'm not speaking metaphorically.

Quantrill, Frank James and a gang of western men carrying several pistols each rode in to a Kansas town and shot all the men and robbed the houses but did not touch the woman. The next year's raid saw bloody bill Anderson leading the raid along with Jessy James. Quantrill thought Jessy James was too young for the first raid, however bloody bill Anderson thought different. Jessy James proved to be a good marksmen on his first raid, dispatching a few men during the beginning of the second " guerrilla" raid on the same Kansas town. Lawrence was the name of the Kansas town that was attacked twice.

The sacking of Lawrence happened twice,yes once before the firing at Ft. Sumter and then in August of '63. The James boy you refer to spelt his name Jesse Woodson James. But he didn't have a part in either sacking, although he rode with "Bloody"Bill Anderson for about a year or more until Anderson bought the farm after the Centralia Massacre in September 27,1864. James tried to surrender at the end of fighting, and was shot for his trouble.

In the election of 1860 Missouri voted for a candidate to continue slavery yet not secede from the Union. St. Louis although having some southern sympathizing was like a Union city in a confederate state split more by urban versus rural than by north versus south due to its large German immigration and some Irish in the city. I reommend to any civil war buff visiting St. Louis to see the Grant national park museum. Prior to the civil war Grant who came from an abolitionist Ohio family met the sister of his army buddy and married in to a slave owning Missouri family near St. Louis. Grant was assigend years prior to the civil war at Jefferson Barracks that became a large Union army base in the western theater of the war. Across the road from the museum you can also enjoy a few hours at Grants farm for a fun family outing with a tram ride seeing animals such as buffalo on the grounds. This national park museum really shows what it must have been like for Grant being in a slave owning family where one brother differed in view with another brother and father. Missouri provided soldiers to both sides of the war. This was really a good video showing so much more than I previously realized about Missouri that only had cotton in the southeastern part of the state yet slaves were used on Missouri farms for other products.

His name was William Jones and he was freed in 1859. I remembered this from the Grant national park museum I visited. Being married myself for almost 50 years, I am sure she had influence on the inherited slaves you mention.

One of the problems with reviewing the Civil War, is the inherent temptations of fighting it again, and the unfortunate predilection of laying the ground for another one. We can do absolutely nothing about yesterday; except, as an obligation to learn everything we can from it so as not to repeat the same mistakes. Erasing history just guarantees that we will eventually do so.

In the history of the United States, carpetbagger is a largely historical term used by Southerners to describe opportunistic Northerners who came to the Southern states after the American Civil War, who were perceived to be exploiting the local populace for their own financial, political, and/or social gain. BTW, for many decades after, women were basically slaves to their husbands. Not saying that two worn gs make a right, but that women are 50% of the population and everyone has at least one female relative (a mother). History still overlooks this because there wasn't money to be made out of this issue.

Further i think in time ( and not much longer ) the southern states would band slavery as a practice. Very few people had slaves & most could not afford them . A prime male of breeding age was going for $1,000 on the block & females for $500 . The import of slaves had been band as of January 1st of 1808 & the subsequent breeding of slaves had become big business as a result. In 1791 a revolt began on the island of Hispaniola and lasted till 1804 when Haiti 🇭🇹 in the West & the Dominican Republic in the East gained their independence from France who had control of the west side of the island and Spain and England who had control of the east part of the island. There had been revolts going on for over 100 years before Haiti and the Dominican Republic finally gained their freedom from colonial rule .

My great great grandpa was a confederate soldier named james keelan, and he defended a bridge in strawberry plaines tennessee. He should never have lived, being left to defend it on his own. If you google his name, his story comes up, and he was posthumously given the confederate medal of honor in 1994, and it's on display in an east tennessee museum. He said they weren't fighting over slavery, but to be kept seperate from the north. My other great great grandpa was a union soldier, who died after getting out of a pow camp, boarding the sultana that was way over crowded, and the boiler blew up drowning nearly everyone. The south is always called racist, but that was not the truth. The number of large plantation owner's was very small compared to the rest of the population. The winner writes the outcome. During the reconstruction, many slaves were given land to work, but you don't hear that, or how estates were split up to do this. Reconstruction took place all over the country back then. I was lucky to have great grandparents and grandparents who handed down the history. G-d bless everyone, and love your neighbor, because tight community's have disappeared, and we need them now more than ever.

Anti-Indian anger rose in the late 1880s as the Ghost Dance spiritual movement emerged, spreading to two dozen tribes across 16 states, and threatening efforts to culturally assimilate tribal peoples. Ghost Dance, which taught that Indians had been defeated and confined to reservations because they had angered the gods by abandoning their traditional customs, called for a rejection of the white man’s ways. In December 1890, several weeks after the famed Sioux Chief Sitting Bull was killed while being arrested, the U.S. Army’s Seventh Cavalry massacred 150 to 200 ghost dancers at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. For their mass murder of disarmed Lakota, President Benjamin Harrison awarded about 20 soldiers the Medal of Honor. Resilience

08:50 the aspect hardly ever mentioned is that with every new territory granted statehood, it would add two more senators to the senate, and a certain number of reps to the house. Since there were a much smaller number of senators at the time then there are today, the addition of two or four or six senators had a much bigger impact back then. So it was crucial for either side to bring a new territory to their side so their voting power, either in favor of or against slavery, would not be diluted. This process is not dissimilar to FDR's attempt to increase the number of Supreme Court justices that he would be able to appoint to favor his New Deal agenda. A similar consideration is still in play today when discussing statehood for DC or Puerto Rico. This time it's not about slavery, but which political party would get the additional seats.

If the North cared about the slaves they sure had a funny way of showing it by looking at how they treated blacks before, during, and after the war and it wasn't by "fighting a war" for them by any means. President Lincoln said it himself "he cared not if ONE MAN WAS FREED" AND "that his only loyalty was to the UNION". It was about uniting the states under the union and or power of the ultra rich overlords who would not have it any other way for by control that they would have it. No mention of the FIFTY % Terrif on all imported goods which only hurt the south and those who succeeded from the North. This was about the constitution which stated each state governed itself and had the right to succeed and thise who did were under INVASION by the NORTH where horrific things were done not only to men but also women and children. Freeing the slaves was only a side note in order to gain sympathy for the crimes of the North as well rewrite history. This is the ONLY good that came from the Civil War was the freeing of the slaves. This video is ful of exactly what you would think it would be, lies and a bunch stereotypes. Literally only 5% even owned slaves so then why would so many fight a war in order to keep those slaves they didn't own or want if they even cared at all about them? Doesn't make sense because yes the history was rewritten just as even the present is being today right before our eyes along with history slandered, pulled down, and burned one by one.

I always thought it was unrealistic that they somehow convinced the Northerner's to potentially die themselves, and come down to free the black slaves. Why would they risk their lives for people they thought that they were better than, and potentially hated?? Massive racism still exists in the north today, as most of the race issues, and riots are in northern cities. I always think that every conflict in the history of man is about wealth, resources, and power... any other reason is just a bunch of BS in my opinion. I just don't believe the narrative.. I think the South was becoming too powerful, wealthy, with mass immigration of people leaving the harsh winters of the North.. and this was the time to strike and destroy the economy of the South. The economy of the South was destroyed for decades, and I think that was their motivation... not to free the slaves. So, I agree with you.. it has been rewritten in opinion as well.

I very much agree. If people were to read the transcripts from the Lincoln/Douglas debate, they would see how the real Lincoln was. Lincoln agreed to allow both Missouri and Kentucky to be neutral. Shortly after his agreeing to Missouris neutrality, federal troops were killing St. Louis civilians. I got into it with a supervisor at Wilson's Creek Battlefield next to Springfield, Mo. over how they are changing history. He claimed that Mo. was never a confederate state. I informed him of the real history. Lincoln sent troops to take over the Mo. state capital after invading St Louis. The governor and top elected officials escaped. The governor ended up in SW MO at Neosho where he requested to join the confederacy due to Lincoln lying about allowing Mo. to be neutral and CSA president Davis welcomed Missouri. Mo was the 12th star on the confederate flag and Kentucky was the 13th. The supervisor at the Battlefield got really irked when I mentioned that a new Mo. government appointed by Lincoln was a false government since they were not elected by the people (quite a few people were there listening). I'm surprised that they haven't changed the victory of that battle at wilsons creek from the confederates to the union. Other than a very few with rich soil next to the Missouri River, most Missourians never owned slaves nor knew anybody who did. It takes 2 or more governments fighting over the takeover of the country for a civil war. The confederates didn't want to rule the country, but only to succeed as the constitution allowed and be on their own due to tyranny. The war was actually The War of Northern Aggression. Slavery was already decreasing due to new farming machinery at that time. Lincoln didn't have a slave but his wife Mary brought her own personal family slave with her when occupying the white house. Hell, the natives made slaves out of other tribe members prior to the Europeans ever setting foot in America. Blacks brought other blacks as slaves to put on the slave ships. Blacks owned blacks in the U.S. Then of course there was all the Caucasian slaves.

These black skinned people were attacked and were enslaved by indegidous AFRICANS, and these Africans eventually did business with some olive skinned people aka Europeans, which would go and become the Atlantic slave trade, Africans willingly participated in this business and propersed. I've always known that man's inhumanity towards man, along with money and evil intentions was what went down back in those day's. Thank God that I have actual human relatives who told the truth, I am not sure if this documentary is 100% accurate or not, but blacks need to stop it with hypocrisy and entitlement syndrome, yes some of our ancestors went through some tough shit, fast forward to present time and I m on the front line in Baltimore and the enemy looks exactly like me.

You are correct to a certain extent, but it does not excuse those who bought human beings and those who used human beings shamefully. This is the very reason why History classes should tell the complete story in our Public Schools.

Thanks for sharing this super interesting doc! It was a president that said, "the only thing new in the world is the history you don't know" & he was right, what i don't know would fill a warehouse. A brother of mine who knows about this type of thing said that black overseers were way more brutal to their racially kindred than white overseers because they need to prove their worth to their owners. Crappy way to live. ✌❤ from Canada

That was also the case with some Jewish guards in the Nazi death camps. They had their own survival to worry about. But there's also something about mistreating someone that makes you begin to hate them. The people who hate the most are those who have done wrong to the hated, so it's not always about survival, but self-justification. Another thing few modern people seem to notice about supposed historical accounts that show someone killing a slave is that such an act would be like shooting one of your prize Arabian horses, or several of your most valuable cattle. Slaves were not only expensive [otherwise they wouldn't have been worth hauling on ships from Africa to the new world], but required a hefty investment of feeding and care, A weak, sick, starving, and miserable slave cannot do much work. Then you'd have a problem with potential suicide. If a slave's life sucks enough, they would no longer care to live. You'd have to maintain some kind of balance in their quality of life, so I can't buy the idea of slave owners constantly killing or maiming their valuable property. You'd have to be such an idiot that your plantation or farm would fail anyway, to be stupid enough to do serious damage to any of your slaves. Logically speaking, at least, you'd also be better off letting a slave run than shooting him, because if he's dead, you just lost a very large investment, permanently. If you let him run, there's at least a chance of catching him later. Again, any slave owner who would just shoot a guy who runs would have to be an idiot who doesn't value his own assets/investments, and such a person would be too stupid to succeed at farming anyway. Then of course, there's the myth of "working for free". Once again, you can't have slaves without furnishing their food, housing and medical needs, not to mention enough social and emotional needs to keep a will to live. How many people today have jobs that don't really pay all their food, housing, medical/survival, transportation needs, so they can live another day to make it to work? A slave was "paid" at least that, which many of the Earths population today barely acquire, and many white kids who worked in factories later, did not even make enough to live on, AND had to work many more hours per day than a typical slave. But people today - because of Leftist indoctrination - are so high on their concocted indignation, for the sake of virtue signaling, that they can't concede any of those facts.

@@jameseverett4976 Wow, that was really well written, thank you for an informed & eloquent comment! Perhaps it's because I'm a real White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, (not the cross burning kind) but the idea of slavery always confounded me. For example, if an African is nothing more than a beast of burden, how could you in conscience (as many identified as Christians), rape the pretty ones & sell the offspring as slaves. Does their moral ambiguity include other livestock as well, where do you draw the line? But these same "white Christians" were bombing Black churches into the 1950's or later. I discovered that one of my ancestors in Lancaster county PA owned a fenian slave by the name of O'Hare before the american revolution. Unsurprisingly he came down with draptomania, & the advert in the paper went something like: "$2.00 reward for the return of unaway slave, (i forget his 1st name) O'Hare from the County Cork, the proof of which is on his tongue & in the redness (or ruddyness) of his cheeks and hair." I don't know if he ever got him back, but i do know back in the day a good black male slave was the equivalent of a Cadillac in the 1950's. Of course O'Hare would've been cheap as chips, the Irish republicans are worthless. Wink. I've heard said "we always hate the ones we've wronged" it certainly seems to be true, one need look no further than your local Native "reservation", or more recently residential schools for native children first run by the pope & then by the national government in order to destroy there tongue, custom and culture. The damage done to those people will likely never be undone because the Canadian gov't doesn't care about a bunch of savages with a child's mind. Personally I always loved the way my own Scottish Celtic (pronounced keltic but you knew that) clan (not klan) culture dovetailed seamlessly with Native American clan culture, 2 warlike savage races with a genetic predisposition to dancing & drumming. Scots married into native tribes & often came hold high office. Don't know where i was going with that, sorry. Anyway you're a good bloke & if i was on facebook I'd definitely hit you up for an intelligent chat or a bit of the craic. Cheers mate, ✌❤ from Canada

@@jameseverett4976 You are only accounting for enslaved people who were considered especially valuable. Look to how they worked enslaved people to death on sugar plantations, so many died that they required a constant supply of new enslaved people to replace the lost laborers. The lot of many enslaved people was to survive on scraps, which is why so many traditionally black dishes in the United States are made from plants and animal parts that were undesirable. Enslaved people who fled were always tortured, sometimes to death, to dissuade others from making the attempt. There was the constant threat of relatives being sold to different owners, either due to lack of concern or as a punishment. The fact that one could be sold to a scientist to be dissected, or experimented on, as was done on numerous occasions. The fact that whomever owned them could do horrible things to them without redress. Edit: While it was the house slaves who were most likely to be violated by their masters, there was also the unending nightmare of slave breeding farms during the era of slavery in the United States.

The institution of slavery was not the cause of the war. The tariff, a tax on imported goods, was the sole cause of the war. Northern manufacturers, who had gained political control in northern states, wanted the government to lay heavy taxes on foreign commerce to "protect" their domestic business. The South, however, was dependent on foreign commerce for its prosperity and wanted low tariffs. Political and business leaders on both sides realized that further argument was useless, that the tariff rate depended on the balance of power in Congress between the northern and southern states.

I really enjoyed the information throughout this video. Especially having a x4 great grandfather that fought for the south. It was very informative and got very in-depth in a lot of different situations. However, I didn’t appreciate the little whips in between scenes when talking about slavery. The civil rights war was fought white In majority by white men specifically to end slavery.(But everyone over looks that) this was a very good video, but overall it portrays the south in a very negative way for reasons that are fully opinionated in many parts throughout this video. 🙌🏽 keep up the good work but wanted to give my opinion because as a proud southern man, whom would not consider my self racist at all parts of this video confused/upset me.
